Uncle Kracker may have gotten his start on the turntables mixing rap and rock, but on his phenomenally popular album Follow Me, and the music that's followed, audiences have heard a softer, gentler sound. His 2009 hit single, âSmile,â debuted at No. 57 on the charts and was quickly embraced by country music fans. To top it off, heâs collaborated on songs and played concerts with country star Kenny Chesney on numerous occasions. On his 2013 tour, he shared a loaded ticket with longtime musical collaborator Kid Rock and Southern rock legends ZZ Top. His music was the softest and sweetest of the bunch, a mix of rock and country, including tracks off his 2012 album, Midnight Special, featuring the singles "Nobody's Sad on a Saturday Night" and "Blue Skies."
Uncle Kracker, born Matthew Shafer, grew up in Michigan, where he became best friends with then-unknown rap-rocker Kid Rock, who introduced Kracker into the turntable scene. Kracker soon became a featured vocalist on Rock's early albums. When Rock achieved musical success, Kracker decided it was time for him to release his own album, too. His debut, Double Wide, mostly featured a Kid Rock-style rap-rock mix, but it was the softer single, "Follow Me," that hit it big, charting on the Adult Contemporary and Country charts. The album went double platinum and spent an incredible 10 months on the Billboard 200. His 2003 remake of Dobie Grayâs âDrift Awayâ set the record for most weeks at No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. From his 2009 album, Happy Hour, Kracker's Don Williams-influenced âSmileâ went double platinum. His most recent album, 2012âs Midnight Special, is Uncle Krackerâs first full country album. Â

This was the 2nd concert that i have attended at Oak Grove Gaming and Hotel, and let me tell you something! The second was just as awesome as the first! The space, the seats, the stage, the concessions, parking, all of it, seems perfect!
We had such a good time! Uncle Kracker put on a great show đ¶ He was so funny interacting with the audience between songs. He did not disappoint.
Uncle Kracker always puts on a great show! His interactions with the crowd make it even more fun. You can tell he is doing what he loves, and his band is amazing! I hope to be able to see him again soon! The venue at Oak Grove was nice and clean. Food and drinks were affordable and staff was nice.
He performed 2 and half late left after two songs very disappointed.
The 8 second saloon was a really fun place to see a show. The acoustics weren't great but the place was really fun. Loved Uncle kracker but it was just an okay performance.
Had such a good time. For how crowded it was, I was very pleased with the service.
Great concert venue, loved the VIP seating. Need more beer stations, long lines and limited waitresses. Uncle Kracker did not disappoint. Staff was very friendly.
Uncle Kracker put on a great show....still sounds awesome!
Uncle Kracker was bad and the band before was very good too.
Uncle kracker was great, but the people watching was even better! We sat near the back of the event and the sound was not the greatest, If you didnât know the song, you couldnât understand a word he or the opener was singing. Same with talking, couldnât understand them talking.
The 4 stars rather than 5 is because of the venue small and standing only. Uncle Kracker is so much better than this. He has one of the greatest voices of my time (I'm 59) he has and can put his stamp on about anything he sings. Rock, pop and country. He performed his hits, Memphis Soul Song is my favorite and it was great. The only song I was hoping to hear and didn't, was one I don't believe he recorded it but he knocked it out of the park when he performed it Window Up Above. No offense George but it is that Damm Good.
What a great venue, small and great prices to see some Uncle Kracker!! First time there and I will be back with the right concerts!!
It was fantastic. This is the 4th time I have seen Uncle Kracker, twice here in Vegas and twice in California. The venue was all right, the crowd was great. I took 2 friends to the concert who had never seen Uncle Kracker perform and they really got into him also, we all had a blast. Can't wait til he comes back to the Vegas area again. My friends and I will definitely be there.
We had seen Uncle Kracker before at Sams Town. He put on a great show then and we actually had seats. We were excited to see him again. This concert started with standing room only. Which was fine. They told us we could stand anywhere. Even against the rails. So me and my husband got a perfect spot by the rails. We heard people complaining that there were no chairs and that was ridiculous. Staff members started to bring out a few chairs for handicap people. Next thing we knew they brought over 100 chairs. After standing in our spot For over 20 minutes a staff member came by and told us we had to move because that spot was ADA only. Which that was never told to us. We were told we could stand anywhere. We constantly had staff walking back in forth in front of us. The concert didnât last an hour and a half and Uncle Kracker seemed he had a little bit much to drink. We have been to concerts at the Railhead before and very much enjoyed them. This time all around disappointing!
Rocking from start to end.. Voice sounds great. Has so many hits.
It was exactly as I thought. Loved the performer. Wouldnât have changed anything
Uncle Kracker still rocks. Lots of energy. Sounds great.
Small, clean venue. Staying at the Casino was super convenient. Not a 4 star hotel, but decent enough to stay again.
Uncle Kracker grabbed my hand!!!!!! I was 2 people away from the stage. I did not even leave to get another drink or use the restroom. He was amazing! He put on a fun show for a fun crowd. He was friendly and was not acting as if he is better than anyone else. It was a great time!
